What about Joe?

Today, the Democratic Party faces a tough challenge. They have to choose between a candidate who is against the war in Iraq, and the candidate who is. Joe Lieberman is the "reject" of his party (their words, not mine folks) and is running as an independent against Ned Lamont, who is the party-approved candidate.

So why is this a tough choice?

Well, if the elected official is Ned Lamont, it means they have the right message and have spent four years trying to express it and failing; the more likely option is that the U.S. public is for the war and supports it, despite the Democratic message.

If you go line by line, the two candidates are almost cloned except this one issue, thus the people are choosing between the war and not. What happens when Joe wins? The Democrats are holding onto an issue that their base can rally around simply because it is ABB (anyone but Bush), but as shown in the previous election people prefer Bush to the "anyone" candidate.

So here we are, with Joe Lieberman massively leading the polls, what does this mean to the Democratic Party...What does it mean to those of you who don't support the war?
